Siren: Blood Curse date and pricing News
PlayStation 3 News by Robert Purchese
Sony Europe has told Eurogamer that Siren: Blood curse will be released on 24th July.
This is the episodic PS3 reinterpretation of the scary PS2 original. It will be broken up into four downloadable chapters on the PlayStation Store.
Each chapter has three episodes in it and will cost GBP 4.99. Or you can snaffle up the whole lot in a full game download for GBP 19.99.
We had a chance to tip-toe our way through the first chapter recently, and were very impressed to find it immediately much more playable than any of the previous games.
Add vastly improved voice acting, atmosphere, audio and sumptuous visuals to that and you should be as excited as we are.
Check back soon for our in-depth look at the entire four chapters.

Hang on...am i understanding this right?
Are all four parts going to be released at once? It's not going to be a periodic release? Can't they just do a full game and a demo? Its not as if people are going to rush out to buy parts 1 and 3 (or any other combination) is it? Seems a bit episodic for episodic's sake to me now? Still utterly psyched for this since Alone In The Dark dropped this summer's survival horror ball. |

Sony in sensible pricing shocker, hurrah - now if only they'd sort out the prices on the PSP store, Wipeout Pulse add ons being the first place to start.

Actually, I can't wait for this now...
Not 100% sure about sticking in americans for the reinterpretation. It's like The Grudge - as gorgeous as Ms Michelle-Gellar is, felt really out of place. But then, that's Americans reimagining a Japanese idea. This is the Japanese reworking their own work and therefore I have a little more hope. (Not a lot more hope buthey, I'll take a grain of rice-sized amount over none!) |

Excellent news. Review scores permitting I'll be getting this for sure.
I'm glad that Sony didnt give up on Siren after it turned out not to be the 'Hey look, its made by the guy who made Silen Hill' hit they were expecting. I think a large part of the problem was that it was just too 'Japanese' for the worldwide audience, and also too damn hard. The first problem seems to have been fixed (and its not a bad comprimise I guess - better than shifting the entire setting to the American mid-west or something), I just hope the second has too. |

I hope the game is still challenging. Okay, yeah I agree that Siren was about as forgiving as a starved lion. But that was kind of an appeal too - for me anyway. Tone it down but I'd be very disappointed if it ended up too easy. Too many games today dumb down a bit too much. I yearn for a rock-'ard challenge. |

Kami - I hope the game is still challenging. Okay, yeah I agree that Siren was about as forgiving as a starved lion. But that was kind of an appeal too - for me anyway. Tone it down but I'd be very disappointed if it ended up too easy.
Too many games today dumb down a bit too much. I yearn for a rock-'ard challenge. Yeah, I agree on Siren 1. Siren 2 was way more playable though, and more forgiving. The only complaint I had on Siren 2 was the non-linearity of it all sometimes made it real hard to figure out what thread you had to do next. You had this huge matrix of characters and timeslots and the interdependencies got real complex (eg, you had to ensure you did something in some other thread, and on that thread etc otherwise you were stuck - figuring what you missed was challenging). I'm hoping they have improved even more. |
